Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Second shot from Wash's self-titled solo debut has more of a Black Box vibe than her recent No. 1 hit, "Carry On." The hook is simply irresistible, while the bass line firmly supports shoulder-shaking backup vocals and a plethora of cool keyboard effects. As always, Wash's one-of-a-kind soprano is the shining light of this track."[2] Randy Clark from Cashbox described it as "a rather simple, cliched melody with its repetitious, discotheque beat".[3]
